Rainforests

We have been trekking through the rainforest this week, and I wanted to share a few great resources that we used along our journey.

The rainforests are amazing places but they are disappearing fast.  The rainforests are home to millions of species of plants and animals that remain undiscovered and many of the animals we know of are going to be extinct soon if things do not change.  We need the rainforests for our own survival as they provide about 28% of the world's oxygen turnover, food, and many of our medications come from plants that are found ONLY in the rainforests.

Help save the rainforests.
